From the reviews
If you're looking for a trainer to challenge you, have fun with, learn tons of new skills, encourage you, and build confidence, Damien is the BEST! I have been doing personal training with him for several months and have learned SO much.
I have found a new hobby and I seriously LOVE this place! Velocity is unlike any gym I’ve been to. I look forward to every class I go to and, let’s be honest, finding a fitness activity that you look forward to instead of having to force yourself to go to is not easy.
If you're looking for a new gym, look no further. Damien is a terrific instructor. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and brings an energy to his classes that motivates everyone to have fun and still work hard.
My son has been attending Velocity Fitness for over two years, and I can’t express enough gratitude for the impact it has had on him. The instruction in proper Kung Fu techniques has been outstanding, and the growth I’ve seen in my son, both physically and mentally, has been remarkable.
New to kickboxing? Start at Velocity Fitness
Velocity Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Velocity Fitness
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
